Ironic that a school that has little to minimal success in football may get a new stadium because of analysis done by the school with the most wins of all time.

Would put a substantial dent into the cost. I will take a few years but the EDC is gigantic and brings in major money to Vegas.

There is nothing good about having a 100 yard long video screen...the thing is much too wide compared to its height so it doesn't really give a good view (that's what she said).

Seeking approval from the
Seeking approval from the
Seeking approval from the Nevada Legislature to allow a tax-increment finance district for the project. If the district is approved, the project would be exempt from paying property, sales and live entertainment taxes for an estimated 25 to 30 years. Developers could still collect those fees and keep the money to help pay off the project’s debt. A similar attempt to allow tax dollars to be used to fund a stadium’s construction failed late in the 2011 session
Im sure UNLV is the real reason they want to build this new stadium. This may help UNLV on the recruting trail, but I doubt it. Anyone whose lived in Vegas will tell you, the city is great to visit, but after a week or two the cool factor wears off and its no diffrent than any other city, except there are a lot more non-residents that clog the highways and get lost in your neighborhood. They are just trying to get a free stadium just off the strip in Las Vegas by using UNLV to get the ttax breaks to pay for it. High Five to UNLV though, Id take a 800 million dollar stadium for free too.

Is there actually the 70k
Is there actually the 70k
Is there actually the 70k minimum for the Super Bowl that the article states? I'm pretty sure Ford Field is only about 60-65k and that didn't seem to be an issue.

Wikipedia says 65k expandable

Wikipedia says 65k expandable up to 70k for football, or if your looking for more space do what Jerry did, just rig up some seats up in the rafters and charge $300 for them, then kick um' out before the game even starts!

Do you know when that became a rule? I still don't think Ford Field is expandable to 70k.

Look for WrestleMania to go

Look for WrestleMania to go there immediately. They tried it once in 1993 Vegas outdoors at Caesar's Palace and it was an epic disaster.
The show content, the look, the setup. Probably one of the worst WMs of all-time. And there have been some really bad ones.
